Shy and Aurora have a point. If they were truly gifts, and he knows that, and you have corroborating witnesses (i.e. your children if they were there, friends, etc.), his demand wouldn't stand up in...
I usually do. That post was originally meant to finish out by asking if there was such a therapist that might be able to work with my personality, rather than completely trying to change it. Instead,...
Hun, I know how it hurts when a close relative does that. It hurts in a place that you didn't know could hurt with a pain beyond any physical pain. Mayhap this request from your father is a blessing...
It seems like every time a dr of any sort finds out I have depression, I have to go to yet another flipping specialist. I wouldn't mind that so much ( they know better than the PCPs what works, what...
That's wonderful! I hope it keeps blooming. You sound really happy about it....
I dealt with a depressed mother myself when I was younger. Bevause od how she dealt with it before she was diagnosed, I was forced to grow up really fast. I love my mama, always have, always will;...
Sure. Btw, my email adress was actually inaccurate. The byline is J. Cheney...
Thank you. On a sidenote, should anyone want to post this elsewhere online or use it offline, e-mail me amd I'll give you an author's byline....

Apparently, the two of us trying to jump through all their stupid little hoops didn't matter. They chose a third contract we didn't know about. Oh well. Back to square one. Again. Then again, that's...
I am about ready to tell these people to go to he11, but I want that house. They're asking us to switch over to a local lender, which in essence does nothing for us except bump up our interest rate....
:yeah: We just put a bid in on a house and we stand a really good chance of it being the one accepted....
The "reset song" I use is "The Blood of Cu Chulainn," the version from the movie the Boondock Saints (it's the song played in the very beginning.) I don't really have an animall that's truly mine,...
i have a certain song that i have designated as a sort of "reset switch": usuallly when I hear it, it'll relax me and remind me that whatever is going wrong is not the end of the world....
Gem, supposedly, chocolate is actually supposed to help depression as well. Something about it having a chemical that the body uses to create the "love chemical" ( I think it was a variation of...
The potassium, vitamins, and the fact that it was a fruit was the first reason I started eating them. I had no idea of the depression and anxiety bonuses involved until I noticed the effects....
In keeping with the ideas of never being alone in the fight, there was something i did with my closest friends that several of the ones with depression, BPD, and anxiety adopted. The version we use...
I discovered something odd a few weeks ago: a banana a day (plus my meds, of course) keeps the depression away. I dug around the scientific community online to find a reason, and apparently, whatever...
I actually managed to get my bull headed superior to agree with me on something that needed to be done on Tuesday. I'd been trying to get him to realize that for at least 2 months, possibly 3. I was...
I just had a good workweek. Not excellent or anything the person without depression would jump for joy over, but it was a nice, normal week. I can't rememberr the last time I could make it through...
Comedy, It's quite possible that depending on your college, there is adepartmnet within the on campus clinic for people in just your position. You may want to check on that....
I went through that myself. I eventually learned that they didn't dislike me, I had pulled away from them. Is it possible that that is the case with you? If not, then I'd say that if they still want...
I've been to a therapist, he's the main reason I can actually feel when I tell my story. I used to force myself to become numb to tell it, so I didn'y feel the pain. I had to leave him when I...
I can't say for all the others, but I've been there. Rather than staring down into the bottom of the well, look up at that blue circle above. I know that's cliche, but honestly, at least in my...
The anonymity on the boards actually gives me the courage to tell my whole story. I never have, not even to either therapist. I couldn't, because I was ashamed of certain things or afraid word might...
Thank you. A lot. Because of certain issues ( many of them ones that triggered one descent or another), it's difficult. But I guess if [ Gramma can beat cancer, Mom can beat her depression, I can get...
I'm on meds (wellbutrin 100 mg 2ce day). They usually work except in extreme cases like this. For the most part, it helped immensely to get it out. Also, just finding a place where people know what...
I'm on generic welbutrin 100 mg 2ce a day, been on it since early April. I tried Cytalopram , before and it did the exact opposite of what it should: made it worse. the Welbutrin seems to work well...
My fiancee had to go to training out of town this morning, his flight was very early. We were up very late last night because of things that needed to be done before hand. I'm running on an hour of...
